A man has been charged in connection with a serious sex attack in Barne Barton.

David Greening, 48, of no fixed address, was arrested in Liskeard on Saturday evening and has since been charged with sexual assault on a woman in Poole Park Road, Plymouth, on July 30.

He is due to appear before Plymouth Magistrates’ Court today [5 August].

It's alleged that a 22-year-old woman was seriously sexually assaulted in Barne Barton between midnight and 2am.

Investigators said they are very keen to hear from anyone who may have been in the area at the relevant times and may have seen a woman wearing a gold-coloured top and striped trousers at the time of the offence.

Neighbourhood officers went door-to-door last week to speak to residents in the area and to glean any information about the suspect.

The victim is currently being supported by specially trained officers.
